On November 8th, 2016, the impossible became possible. The man that everyone laughed at, the media, the politicians, the pundits, the elitists, they all laughed uproariously when Donald Trump threw his hat into the ring. “Apprentice??!!” they laughed. “Wild hair and twitter” they snickered. “He’s never held a political office and doesn’t know what politics is all about” they harrumphed. His escapades made all the Main Stream Media cackle, and the liberal/progressives scream in delight. The Republican Establishment haughtily sneered down their noses at this pretender. “We have Jeb Bush lined up for the canonization, how dare this fraudster come amongst us and smearing our good name” they disdainfully declared. But just like dominoes, one by one, the Republican contenders dropped out. This so-called ‘fraudster, uncouth gangster’ showed more class in his support of one of his opponents than the entire Republican establishment showed anyone, when, at the start of the debate, Dr. Carson’s name was called The doctor didn’t hear the call, but, Mr. Trump, instead of walking by, waited with the good doctor, and walked in together with him. The rest just smiled and smirked and passed both by, but Donald Trump waited with Ben Carson. This was the inkling that America had of what The Donald was. Just because you have something, doesn’t make you better than anyone else. If Donald had thought that, he would’ve passed Ben by.

This is what America voted for. Not someone with flowery speeches of airy ideas about pie-in-the-sky dreams. They voted for someone who cares. Yes, Donald Trump blusters, but he picks carefully what he blusters about. His detractors and naysayers and Never-Trumpers never understood that. Donald spoke to the heart of people who had been left behind by the elites in both parties, the liberal/progressives, and a president that spoke only to his clique. Donald spoke about the greatness of America, and Donald spoke to the pain of the small town, middle class, white, black brown, yellow, and green (military) Americans, who have been bypassed and marginalized by a liberal minority intent on shrinking American influence and prosperity in the name of ‘globalization’ and ‘one world government’ under the auspices of the UN. Just as the UK did in the BREXIT vote to the EU, Americans rejected the idea of UN governance of our country.

Clinton’s supporters all claim this was jury-rigged by Russian hackers releasing damaging emails. They claim, as well as Hillary, that, based on the popular vote, Hillary is the rightful heir-apparent and should be crowned president. And, as usual, they are wrong. The election wasn’t lost because Russians hacked Hillary’s emails. The emails were just the icing on the cake. Hillary Clinton was a flawed candidate to begin with. Hillary had none of the charisma and ease with people that her husband, Bill, had. Hillary’s confidantes continually said, “If you knew the real Hillary, you’d see a different person”. The problem is, unless you WERE a Hillary confidante, or a big-money donor, then you would NEVER see the ‘real’ Hillary. Too many people, all the low-level scrubs, saw their real Hillary. She was a vehement, sarcastic, foul-mouthed person that expected people to grovel when she approached. This is why she never felt like visiting the Rust Belt, or the Bible Belt. The Clinton campaign lost because they lost touch with the people.

Donald knew what the people felt. He visited, not the big states of California and New York over and over again, but the states where manufacturing and industry had fled. Where people, young, old, black, white, brown, etc., were hurt and hurting, because there weren’t any jobs. Companies being run by accountants were outsourcing jobs, bringing in visa workers, because they were ‘cheaper’. Foreign governments, primarily China, were devaluing their currency against the dollar to influence their old school buddies to move work to their countries. Donald saw this, and he worked to give people hope. The left claimed that Donald was fear mongering. No, Donald was HOPE mongering. As a businessman, Donald knows that you are only as good as your word. What he offered people at his rallies was not clichés, not vague promises. He offered his word, and he offered hope. Hope to all of those who have been literally disenfranchised by the political system. Hope that tomorrow will be better for them, for their children, for their grandchildren, and for the future.

One of the things that Donald made sure of at his rallies was his people, those who voted for him and supported him knew throughout his campaign, that this was not going to be easy. This was going to be painful. But he guaranteed, this was going to happen. This is the reason that people voted for The Donald. They didn’t vote in ones and twos; they didn’t vote in dozens and scores. No, the people, no, the movement voted in the thousands and millions, renouncing the Obama/liberal/progressive agenda. The American people voted for real change that would benefit them. The American people voted for someone who stabilize their country, return America back to it’s place as the premier superpower, and help to provide for a prosperous country. The reason that The Wall rang out so clearly and so succinctly is that the American people, both natural and naturalized, feel that we don’t have a handle on our borders. The borders being wide open symbolizes, for many Americans, the draining of American resources out of the country, and the rampant invasion of our country by people who have ill intent on our way of life. Donald Trump’s declaration “We Will Build The Wall!” symbolizes our desire to take our country back from those who would attempt to destroy it, enemies both foreign and domestic.

Donald Trump, the gag of late night shows, the snub of the elites, the so-called misogynistic, racist, hate-mongering guy with the most racially diverse, sexually-diverse coalition since Ronald Reagan, is now President-Elect. Donald has worked to keep American jobs in America, forgoing his Thanksgiving, has received thanks from a democratically-elected president that the left deplore, and has made more cabinet picks in the first four weeks than any other president-elect in recent history. Sure Donald likes twitter a little too much. But Donald Trump has achieved more SOLID actions in his first four weeks than the preceding president has in the last eight years.

If this is how Donald Trump is before he’s actually sworn in, imagine what he’ll be like as the official President Of The United States.

America’s economy is the worst it has ever been, outside of the ’30s. The US economy is trillions in debt. Millions of people are out of work, not even looking for a job. We currently have the highest number of people on welfare, ever. People who are working have part-time jobs, or the jobs are paying lower than they should be. Taxes are higher that they have been in years, to support an entitlement structure that awards those who won’t work, by taking from those who do. Health care is abysmal, because it costs too much. The Affordable Health Care Act has resulted in those with decent health care plans, losing those plans. There are agencies in the US government that are abusing their powers. We have illegal aliens massing on, and crossing, our borders, and the administration wishes to provide them with a comfortable life. But, congress and the president are now taking their summer break, ostensibly because of all the hard work the two groups have put in over the last four to five months. And let’s not forget: China now owns 22 Billion dollars of US real estate. CitiGroup has been fined seven billion dollars for its part in the mortgage debacle. Yet not a penny will go to those who have lost their homes through the major banks’ fiddling with the system. But, congress and the president are going on their summer break.

We must do something about this. Our first step should be, to go to our representatives and senators offices, and demand accountability for their lack of action. We must demand the congressmen and women meet with their citizens, and explain their actions or inactions during this latest session of congress. We must give these people, our elected representatives, our demands, and force them to take us seriously, and force them to take action. We must call, write, email, our elected representatives, and show them we care that there has been no action on the things we hold congress accountable for.

Alas, I don’t think this will happen. I don’t think, as a matter of fact, I know, that civics, and civic duties, are not taught in schools as they used to be in the past. The young voters of today, those 18 to 27 or 28, have not been taught that it is a responsibility of citizenship of this country, to take part in the civic process, not just by voting, but by being involved in that which is happening in your neighborhood, your town or city, and your country. No, there will only be the vocal few, the ones that know they can get their own ways by being in front of the congress as much as possible. The rest will talk about how hard it is to get information (in the information age), how much time it takes (though most can find time to head for the beach, or the club) or that nothing they say will mean anything (of course, the same people will spend all day talking about what they would do if they could). Now is the time to stand up, for, if not, you lose your chance to speak, maybe forever.

The USA is a country where anyone can achieve anything. We are a country where we are not afraid to speak our minds, and this is enshrined in our constitution. Yet, if we don’t speak up, if we don’t make our representatives in congress listen to us, we will lose. We will lose our freedoms, our liberty, and our sense for justice for everyone. And there will be an elite, made up of those from both sides of the aisles, who will force us to become, that which we fear: A country no different than any other dictatorship anywhere else in the world. We cannot let our light dull, we must continue to be the beacon for the rest of the world.

Our country was built by people who fled persecution in other countries. Our country was, and is, built on the concept that all people who live here, live here in freedom. We have paid the price, in blood, sweat, and tears, burying those who have fought for our freedoms and liberties. By allowing congress to not do their work, to let congress have free passes, when we have those who have watered the tree of Liberty and Freedom with the blood of their bodies, makes a mockery of their sacrifices. We must barrage our elected representatives to do what we sent them to Washington to do: Represent us, and fight for our rights. For if we do not, we, the electors of our freedom, will have caused those who died for us, those who shed their blood and bodies for our freedoms, to have sacrificed in vain.
